To combat the anxiety around the festive time of the year it’s important to focus on keeping it simple, tuning into your own needs and taking the stress out of situations you know can cause the most anxiety.

Simplifying Christmas

Gifts – Don’t over-spend or over-commit.

Events – Where possible, avoid hosting. If you have to, don’t put pressure on yourself to be a master chef. Serve up finger food and ask guests to bring a plate too. There’s no shame in asking for help from friends.

Decorations – Keep it simple. Don’t get sucked into lighting the house up like the Griswold’s!
